Welcome aboard!

I'd stick with the free bag for a while and save some money. I'd go with a backpack, the bag the firm gives you can be used either way.

I'd wear a button down shirt and dress slacks if a guy, with a sport coat of you like. For a woman, slacks or skirt and a blouse with sleeves. Most of our buildings are warm for me, an old guy, so I don't wear a jacket, even when I'm an MD doing a section of the training.

They gave me one with my laptop when I started 9 years ago. Still using the same free bag the firm gives every new hire.

I started with one but have moved to a backpack, which I find easier to travel with. backpacks are pretty common now, even with our partners.

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
